Reforming Health Insurance, Reforming Washington

The President spoke in the Rose Garden today on health insurance reform, but began his remarks by praising the Senate vote on F-22 funding. The President is committed to changing the way we do business in Washington, whether that means finding common ground on health care or eliminating waste and inefficiency in our defense projects. The President explained that today's vote in the Senate against $1.75 billion in funds for additional F-22 fighter jets, which both parties agree are unnecessary, will free up money for more critical matters:
But I reject the notion that we have to waste billions of taxpayer dollars on outdated and unnecessary defense projects to keep this nation secure. That's why I've taken steps to greatly reduce no-bid defense contracts. That's why I've signed overwhelmingly bipartisan legislation to limit cost overruns on weapons systems before they spiral out of control. And that's why I'm grateful that the Senate just voted against an additional $1.75 billion to buy F-22 fighter jets that military experts and members of both parties say we do not need.
At a time when we're fighting two wars and facing a serious deficit, this would have been an inexcusable waste of money. Every dollar of waste in our defense budget is a dollar we can't spend to support our troops, or prepare for future threats, or protect the American people. Our budget is a zero-sum game, and if more money goes to F-22s, it is our troops and citizens who lose.
The President is committed to fiscal discipline, and health care costs are the biggest drivers of our deficit. That is why the status quo is unacceptable, and we must reform health care now to bring down costs, while expanding coverage and providing choice. As both the House and the Senate work to craft their bills, we are closer than ever before to comprehensive health care reform and the consensus continues to build. The President outlined the common ground that has been reached on substantial issues:
We've agreed that our health reform bill will extend coverage and include unprecedented insurance protections for the American people. Under each of these bills, you won't be denied coverage if you've got a preexisting medical condition. You won't lose your health care if you change jobs, if you lose your job, or if you start a business. And you won't lose your insurance if you get sick.
We've agreed that our health reform bill will promote choice. America -- Americans will be able to compare the price and quality of different plans, and pick the plan that they want. If you like your current plan, you will be able to keep it. Let me repeat that: If you like your plan, you'll be able to keep it. And each bill provides for a public option that will keep insurance companies honest, ensuring the competition necessary to make coverage affordable.
We've agreed that our health reform bill will emphasize prevention and wellness. By investing in programs that help Americans live healthier lives, we will save money, prevent illness, and increase the competitiveness of our country. We've agreed that our health reform bill will protect American families from financial catastrophe if they get sick. That's why each of these bills has out-of-pocket limits that will help ensure that families don't go bankrupt because of illness. And we have agreed that our health reform bill will include dramatic measures to cut costs while improving quality.
Each of these bills improves oversight while cracking down on waste. Each will help reduce unwarranted giveaways to insurance companies in Medicare. And each of these bills will provide incentives so that patients get the best care, not just the most expensive care.
The consensus that we've forged is not limited to Congress. Indeed, we've forged a level of consensus on health care that has never been reached in the history of this country. Health care providers have agreed to do their part to reduce the rate of growth in health care spending. The pharmaceutical industry has agreed to spending reductions that will make prescription drugs more affordable for seniors. Hospitals have agreed to bring down costs. The American Nurses Association and the American Medical Association, who represent millions of nurses and doctors who know our health care system best, have announced their support for reform.
Even as consensus builds on these critical issues, the President knows the road ahead will not be easy. Those who are committed to the status quo will fight to delay and defeat reform, as they've done before. But the President is committed to bringing change to Washington, and he knows that this isn't about political games, it is about the American people:
So I understand that some will try to delay action until the special interests can kill it, while others will simply focus on scoring political points. We've done that before. And we can choose to follow that playbook again, and then we'll never get over the goal line, and we'll face an even greater crisis in the years to come. That's one path we can travel.
Or, we can come together and insist that this time it will be different. We can choose action over inaction. We can choose progress over the politics of the moment. We can build on the extraordinary common ground that's been forged, and we can do the hard work needed to finally pass the health insurance reform that the American people deserve.
And I can guarantee you that when we do pass this bill, history won't record the demands for endless delay or endless debates in the news cycle –- it will record the hard work done by the members of Congress to pass the bill, and the fact that the people who sent us here to Washington insisted upon change. That's the work that we've come here to do, and I look forward to working with Congress in the days ahead to getting the job done.

How many times have you participated in a brainstorming session, only to be underwhelmed by the utter lack of follow up? Unfortunately, in most businesses, this is often the norm. Here's why: The output of the session is underwhelming. No one has taken the time, pre-brainstorm, to consider follow-up. No criteria is established to evaluate the output. No next steps are established at the end of the session. No champions (i.e. process owners) are identified. The champions are not really committed. The champions are committed, but under-estimate the effort. The ideas are too threatening to key stakeholders. No one is accountable for results. The project leader doesn't stay in contact with key players and "out of sight, out of mind" takes over. The "steering committee" takes their hands off the wheel. The next brainstorming session is scheduled too quickly. The output of the session is not documented. No sponsors are … Continue reading

"WOW!!!! Best stories I have read in 30+ years!!"
Everything! At first I wondered if I was just having a mellow and melancholy day when I laughed and cried while listening to this story! Then after listening to the other books of this series I realized that it wasn't just the day I was having, but the story, author and wonderful narrator I was listening to that made me love this series!
How their family values are so much in the fore front of every book in this series. Amazing values, sense of caring and loving. Many family values are that now gone from our society in how to raise and give care to the children we love. This series make me almost jealous of the women in these mens lives, to find such a manly man would be amazing.
She narrated them all so wonderfully! Men's were a little feminine but with the knowledge that they were loving, caring, giving men it was all good!
Not any hot and steamy sex scenes (which I don't mind, but) just wonderful stories about passion, life, family and love.
I am on the 5th book in 3 days, I love Wendy and I have never heard of her before!
"I wish I had a Monster!"
I read the other reviews before getting this book. Some of them almost made me not get it! I do not write many reviews but the ones bashing this story and sequence of events are making me feel like I have to write one.
This is a wonderfully told story, as usual the couple are in love with each other (secretly of course - lack of communication) but they are over the top in lust with each other, mutually attracted to each other in a very heady sexual attraction, which is a very good thing if you have ever had it in your own real life!!!
I felt the author and the narrator created many beautiful/sexy and sensual love making scenes. You can actually feel the attraction between these two as it is so powerfully written!
Little Spoiler: This story takes place like in 850AD So yeah, people's views were a little bit different then those of today and what women could endure. Other reviewers thought the speed and position of the loving making unreasonable, but so would being beaten near to death and yet the heroine survived that....I would rather have a handsome man making wild passionate love to me!! LOL
So if you are not a prude...give this book a try as I am off to find another one by this same author as her story was WONDERFULLY TOLD!!
"A very fun and refreshing romance!"
This book is wonderful! It had me laughing out loud and I had a heck of a time putting it down and doing anything else!
Trust me give it a try it is worth it! Great story, funny characters and situations, plus a honest get to know each other love story!
"What ever Audible has done...."
With how they work between Audible and Amazon downloads of audible books has screwed up how they refresh and download to my devices. The last three book downloads have been a pain in my butt to listen to! I have downloaded and listened to 100+ books and all of a sudden they will not download to my 3 devices!
"B. F. Lasker"
Are you a frigging speed reader...slow down I am on the second chapter and I already HATE this book as I can't understand a thing about the book since you are speaking so fast! I tried changing the speed but it is all full of echo's!
"Couldn't finish this one..."
Just seemed to me to slow and lack of communication between to two main characters. I never could get over the fact that Reno showed up drunk for their first meeting and then they both just kept doing crazy stuff without any reason!
"Doesn't ever pick up the pace!"
Over half way through this book and it is not going anywhere....This could really be a good story plot but it just isn't going anywhere!!
I don't feel connected with the characters, I don't feel anything for the narrator or his voices of the characters, especially when he goes from a Scottish brogue to an Irish brogue for Harrison's voice.
"Whoa....missing the last part of Chapter 23!"
Great book, but the end of Chapter 23 (in the written list on my iPod it says Chapter 24 but the narrator states that it is 23, which is something else I wish someone would fix!) is missing and it must be the part where they finally get things moving or tell each other something about their past!
"Read this series!"
Not one moment of regret listening to these! If you want a very nice story about a wonderful family, listen to this series!!
"Where do I start?"
I am sorry that I bought this book based on the 3 raving reviews! I liked the premise of the story and where the author could have taken the characters and their lives.I didn't feel there were any development of the characters nor any real grit to why they did the things they did.Maybe I am needy or I like more of a story and character interactions, details, background info....something, anything...There were so many times while listening to this book I actually spoke out loud and said "You've Got to be Kidding Me!!!" whether it was from the lame phrases spoken from Adam to Catherine, Adam to his mother or Adam to his best friend or Catherine's brother (who hadn't seen his sister in 7 years) to Adam about how Catherine has suffered enough when he didn't have a clue about what had been happening to her!! I felt this whole book was a waste of my time I even choose to listen to my car radio on my drive to town instead of the book!!
There were no interesting aspects in this story, every part of it was just so glossed over in details, I felt is was rushed! Meaning you are just drug along through the story and at times I had to even replay parts because it just skips through days, months and years events without making it clear.
I don't like to speak ill of any narrator but I just wish Helen would have just tried to use a little bit of change in her voice so you could tell whether it was a man or a woman speaking....
Oh and I had to go and read the Catherine's Bourgeault last name in the Info. because when read, it sounded simply like "BoGo" I would assume there has to be a slight "r" sound.

THQ has been relatively tight-lipped when it comes to talking about their upcoming MMOG, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online, but during a recent financial conference with Wedbush Morgan, executive vice president and chief financial officer Paul Pucino shared some new information about the development cost of the upcoming MMOG. According to a report from Gamesindustry.biz, Pucino put the project's development cost at around $50 million.
Pucino didn't estimate the number of needed subscriptions for the game to turn a profit and recoup its development costs, but Pucino expects that the game will continue to generate revenue for several years. Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online is tentatively scheduled to launch by March of 2013.

Heineman gives final approval to state budget
UPDATED 10:19 PM CDT Mar 27, 2014With the legislative session coming to a close, Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman is getting ready to finalize bills and budgets.
Video TranscriptHOW ABOUT áDOUBLING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY PROPERTY TAX OWNERS GET BACK FROM THE STATE? THAT'S ONE SUGGESTION TONIGHT FROM GOVERNOR DAVE HEINEMAN. WE TALKED WITH HEINEMAN..AS HE GETS READY TO TAKE HIS RED PEN TO THE BUDGET. IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG WEEKEND FOR GOVERNOR DAVE HEINEMAN.(Gov. Dave Heineman: Thursday, Friday and Saturday I will be reviewing the budget, line item by line item.) AND ALL THOSE LINE ITEMS.. GO INTO THE NEARLY EIGHT BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET. I ASKED HIM IF HE KNOWS WHICH ITEMS..HE'S GOING TO VETO.(Heineman: I just don't know yet Rob until we look at every one individually and then I try to take a look collectively at what it means.) THE STATE áHAS THE MEANS RIGHT NOW..TO PAY FOR OPTIONS.. SITTING ON A CASH RESERVE OF MORE THAN 720-MILLION. ONE OPTION HEINEMAN WANTS THE LEGISLATURE TO DO.. IS GIVE áMORE MONEY BACK TO PROPERTY TAXPAYERS.(Heineman: I don't think they've done enough in the current package...) (Another $25 million, for example, in the Property Tax Relief Credit Fund.) THAT WOULD DOUBLE THE AMOUNT ALREADY PROPOSED. THERE áARE OTHER TAX RELIEF PLANS OUT THERE. - LOWERING AG LAND VALUATIONS.. - EXEMPTING SOME SOCIAL SECURITY INCOME .. AND MILITARY RETIREMENTS.(Heineman: So I want to look at all those together but my biggest concern is too much new spending and not enough tax relief.) IN áITS ANALYSIS .. THE "OPEN SKY INSTITUTE" SAYS THE TOTAL NUMBER OF BILLS MOVING THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE.. WOULD COST THE STATE MORE THAN 225-MILLION OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS. AND THAT.. WOULD LEAD TO A NEARLY 131-MILLION DOLLAR áSHORTFALL IN 20-17.(Reporter: SO.. TO KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING... TO KEEP A BUDGET BALANCE.HEINEMAN SAYS HE WON'T BE AFRAID OF USING THE RED VETO PEN.)(Heineman: The biggest concern I have is the imbalance between new spending and tax relief.) HEINEMAN HAS UNTIL MONDAY TO MAKE ANY VETOES... THE LEGISLATURE CAN OVERRIDE THE GOVERNOR.. IT TAKES 30- VOTES TO DO THAT.

.- During his July Australian visit for World Youth Day 2008, Pope Benedict XVI will stay in the residence of Cardinal George Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, The Age reports.
The cardinal's residence is next to St. Mary's Cathedral.
Some details of Pope Benedict's stay in Sydney were announced on Wednesday by New South Wales Deputy Premier John Watkins.
During his four-day visit, the Pope will likely visit other sites around Sydney such as the Opera House, Centennial Park, the Sydney open space called the Domain, and the Barangaroo site in East Darling Harbor.
A spokesman for World Youth Day said the Pope was expected to arrive at Barangaroo by boat for his official welcome. However, the spokesman also said the programs and arrangement for the event would not be finalized until shortly before the week-long event.
Pope Benedict will celebrate a closing Mass on July 20 for an anticipated 500,000 pilgrims at Randwick Racecourse.

Original shutdown date of 1999? HDTVs selling for $4000.00 each. You must have the year 1999 mixed up with the year 2009. Or maybe it's another, "gross miscalulation on my part" as Ollie North used to say to congress.

Uh, no. But I do remember 2006 as a cut-off year, but I don't believe we were anywhere near ready by that year, but given the fact that it's hard to find a SDTV in stores any more, there was no compelling reason to delay the Feb. 17, 2009 date for the ~ 5% who hadn't prepared for the analog cut-off. A 95% majority and you can't get it done?! Effen ridiculous!

There will always be the select few that will wait till the last possible minute to do anything about it! Kind of like the day before Christmas and every store is packed to the ceiling with "last minute shoppers". Like you just found out Christmas was tommorrow idiot!!!!!
I worked in a phone office for a couple years and I was amazed at the number of people who wouldn't pay their bill each month until their service was shut off. And it was the same people every month, we'd do the disconnect for non-pay and sure enough the same regulars would come into the office to pay their bill and get their service restored. Mind you they got charged a reconnect fee each time too, so they were spending more money every month just because they couldn't or wouldn't pay the bill on time. And sure there's issues with people not having enough money to pay their bills but with these people obviously they had the money because they'd come in to pay the bill everytime on the same day it got turned off. So in my experience the only way to motivate some people to do something is turn off their service and they'll finally get off their couches and do something about it. So the best thing that could happen for those who are still "unready" for DTV is to turn off analog broadcasts.

"The bubble headed bleach blond comes on at five..."I am starting to find it sickening that TV is that important, and if it is that important you should figure out how it works a tiny bit and take the warnings that have been going on for months, and even years in some cases, seriously.

If we waited for "everyone to be ready" each time something new came along we'd never have progress. There are always people who will be left behind when things change. It is a fact of life. I don't know where this. "we have to wait till everyone is ready" mentality came from but it needs to end now. It is a fact of life. some people are gong to be left behind. If five percent of the population is not ready. Too bad.
Zman - you're preaching to the choir here about that - personally - I'm a bit disappointed that more stations didn't tell the FCC to stick it and shutoff anyway.
In anything else - a 95% readiness would be looked at as great success.

The original cutoff wasn't a fixed date at all. The original cutoff date was the be done market by market. The cutoff would happen in each TV market area when 85% of the households had a digital TVs. This originally didn't include those who still have an analog TV and connected to cable of satellite. The broadcasters pressured the congress to include cable and satellite users to speed up the cutoff. When that wasn't fast enough for the broadcasters, they pressured the FCC and congress to come up with a fixed date. If the original plan had held up, we wouldn't be talking about the shutoff at this time and the government would not have the expense of those converter boxes to add to all our other current problems.

The Mobile Register put out something a few years ago that gave the name (one I've never heard of) of a tomato that they say is the best to grow in this part of AL. I can't find the info now and was wondering if someone could tell me the best tomato to grow in Lower Alabama.
Follow-Up Postings:
FAIK there is no ONE best variety. Theoretically you should be able to grow just about any variety you want to. Tomatoes are tropical fruits after all. ;) From what I have read you have more heat and humidity to deal with than those further north but you can also plant much earlier than most and so get fruit set before the worst of the heat sets in. Any good anti-fungus control spray program will prevent the disease problems associated with the high humidity. Alabama Extension Service has a great program and tons of info for local home gardeners so why not explore all the info at their website linked below. They stress early planting times and Celebrity is one variety they recommend but they also say that many other varieties will work very well in south Alabama. Good luck. Dave |

INDORE: After the rain fury the menace of malaria is gripping the region now. Especilly number of positive cases of malaria vivax and falciparum have shot up of late. In July none of the malaria cases were proved positive, seven cases of vivax fever and three of falciparum were registered in the month of August.
According to health department 1752 cases were registered in July, while August saw the numbers going up to 2621cases. On the other hand, dengue seems to be under control this year. The increase in malaria cases is being attributed to large number of infrastructure and construction projects going on in the region. Besides, high levels of humidity and soaring temperatures have also contributed to the trend.
According to district malaria officer Dr M.C. Jeenwal, rains and subsequent water logging facilitates mosquito breeding, that results in more malaria cases in the city. "Recent incessant rains have triggered the spread of malarial infection. Due to the rains, health workers find it difficult to go to every nook and corner of the city and treat stagnant water with insecticides or spray pesticides in the residential colonies," he said.
Meanwhile, the department has once again boosted its team, which would check and intensify anti-larval activities. With increasing water logging, the department is gearing up to keep a check on mosquito breeding. "We have instructed the district officials to remain on the alert as water logging after the rains can lead to increasing mosquitoes breeding. The new combination therapy of anti malaria medicines have already been replenished at government clinics and we are monitoring situation very closely now," said Dr Sharad Pandit, Chief Medical and Health Officer. The department is also taking help of organic system to control malaria in the state. Larva eating fish like gamboosia and guppy are released in water bodies to check larva breeding.

i heart ava duvernay. a lot. i have since i first caught word of i will follow. i was so hype that tracie thoms was doing another flick and it having this awesome black female writer/director was the cherry. the love grew over the years and the additional projects, then i watched this talk she gave at some point within the last year and the admiration is now at peak levels.
tonight just has not been my night. it's the beginning of summer break with school, and even though i've given myself a very detailed list of things i need to be doing each day toward the completion of my project (not to mention the million other things i have to do not related to school), my will power just is not having it right now. so i stopped fighting it a couple of hours ago and gave in to the easy joys of the internet. while tending to the neverending slew of bookmarked posts in my feedly saved for later list, i finally watched the academy of motion picture arts and sciences' short feature on ava. and it was of course exactly what i needed, namely starting from the 3:28 mark. here's to tomorrow not being so rough.

Joe Flacco's agent says he should be league's highest paid QB
Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
We have NO CHOICE, we can't use the TAG because it will east up 20 million for 2013, no way can we afford that.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
While in my personal opinion Flacco is worth the 20 million, he won't get it. And I don't think he wants it either. This is the same guy who was asked what he was going to do with his "signing bonus" money as a rookie and he said buy a lawnmower. He'll get 16-18 mill and make sure the core of the team is still around so we can sustain success. But if he really wants to go deep and break the bank, do you playa! He deserves it. Especially with the hate and criticisms he had to endure from the National Media to his own backyard over the years.
Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
This is from CNBC the business channel. For those who don't know Linta is Flacco's agent
When asked whether Flacco should be the highest paid quarterback in the NFL, Linta simply said: "YES."
That would mean more than the $18 million Denver paid Peyton Manning this season, or the $20 million a year that Drew Brees is averaging in New Orleans.
He's younger than both. He's won as much as they have. And Flacco is just heading into the peak of his career.
"When you do a contract of this magnitude, you look at what is the player's body of work presently," Linta said. "And what are the expectations going forward over the next four, five or six years.
"Joe wins on both accounts."He Who Dares.....Wins
Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
sadly hes absolutely right, and its a very strong argument for him. Im just hoping they agree on contract thats a little less but more guaranteed or some other way to move numbers around to make it work. The FO out of all of this took a gamble not to raise their offer and go earn it, knowing full well if he did "earn" it, theyd be alright with paying it. Well now thats where we are and i dont think theyll take that back since he delivered a lombardi.
where is that number coming from? QB should be 14.642.

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
(link is broken)
I think the $14.6 million is for the 2-first round picks and right to match...which if the Ravens tagged him with that, I suspect at least 1 team would offer it up (the Browns, for instance).
I believe the $20 million is for the exclusive rights (no other team can offer him a deal or the Ravens draft picks).
But I could be completely wrong....

Re: Flacco asking for Brees type money
You are correct.
If the Ravens use the "exclusive" tag, Flacco's tender will be worth the average of the Top 5 cap numbers (minus workout bonuses) of quarterbacks in the NFL at the end of the restricted free agent signing period, which ends in mid-April. As Florio correctly calculated, the "exclusive" tag is currently scheduled to be worth $20.464 million, which is the average of the cap numbers of Tom Brady, Matthew Stafford, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning and Ben Roethlisberger.

More reviews by falconcutie364
this is most definitly not a bronzer, it works extremely well as a highlighter though. I wanted something that didn't have any obvious shimmer in it. this goes on easily and blend well. it looks really natural on the skin. it's something that I have used almost every time I wear makeup and it has lasted me about 5 months. I had to repurchase once bc the packaging broke (I hadn't dropped it that badly either so that's why I'm giving it four). this is better then the more expensive brands I have tried (benefit, urban decay, ect)

HG product! Nc 40 skin makes it looks golden and dewy love it.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is my absolute HG highlighter.
As others have said, it is *definitely* not a bronzer. I am light and this doesn't make me look remotely tan lol
What it *does* do is add am amazing glow to my skin, it is everything I wanted the much more expensive Nars copa, or Benefit moonbeam to be.
For starters I prefer that it is in powder form, I find it way easier to work with. Also I know this product will last forever. I have been wearing it daily for over a month and it still looks new. It is *not* shimmery, which is great. It doesn't draw attention to my large pores, make my skin look oilier, or make me look like a disco ball. It just blends into my skin, giving it this healthy glow. It's super natural, easy to work with, and also very forgiving.
When I apply it, I use a small blush brush, and I make little "c"s to highlight my cheekbones, then i apply to my nose as well. After I may apply blush or bronzer, but if I want to look natural I just leave it as is. And the look is so natural and flawless.
The only con, is that I wish the compact had a mirror. Other than that it's perfect.
Works perfect as a highlight color, especially in the summer with a bit of a tan
Goes a long way since you just need a small swipe on your brush - it is a bit shimmery, but perfect for summer paired with a matte bronzer
Works better as a highlighter than a bronzer. I use Samantha Chapman's real techniques setting brush to apply the powder onto my cheekbones. It's reasonably priced and available at Walmart.
I've bought this a few times now and will continue to buy. I love it! I prefer a more sunkissed/golden look over blush, but being as I'm soo light skinned it's always been a little harder to find something that could do that for me without looking just awful. It also gives a nice glowy look without looking shimmery and silly. I definitely grab for it every morning; it just gives the perfect finishing touch.
More reviews by themerchanwifey
I love this as a golden highlighter. In the summer I really like to shelf my silvery highlights and play with the sunny golden ones. This is a great affordable highlighter. I sweep this over my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose and across my cupids bow. Love the glimmer it leaves. The shimmer is not chunky, you are just left with a nice glow.

Love this product as a highlighter, definitely not a bronzer. I'm an NC15 and its a beautiful color for me. I sometimes reach for this more than my Mary lou-manizer from the balm. Would definitely repurchase, this product will last me for a very long time! Definitely worth the price.
I love this, it's gorgeous and makes my skin glow. I use it all over my face to brighten it up. It definitely is not a bronzer for me, and I'm pretty fair (NC10). I could use it as a highlighter even, but I prefer to use something a little lighter to highlight. This is beautiful for fair skinned neutral to warm skin tones.

Night has chased the light out of the sky, forcing the lone figure weaving in and out of the towering corn stalks to slice through the darkness with a flashlight. The evening?s silence is broken by an eerie noise that causes the figure to break into a frantic run, but his escape is thwarted as his friends leap out of the corn into his path, giggling and hooting, ?You weren?t scared, were you?!? This is not a scene from a horror movie, but instead from Shuckle's Corn Maze?s Maze by Flashlight event, which dares visitors to navigate the almost 7-acre maze with only a flashlight to illuminate their path. Dedicated to delighting visitors with family-friendly activities, Shuckle?s staff welcomes guests of all ages to spend the day celebrating autumn?s arrival.
On any given fall day, the staffers usher intrepid explorers into the maze to maneuver the numerous twists, turns, and vengeful mutant corncobs therein. The Kiddie Hippity Hoppity mini maze grants youngsters a chance to tackle an age-appropriate labyrinth, and events such as hayrides, face painting, and bouncy pony-hop races unleash the inner children of all those who participate. The pumpkin patch's rotund inhabitants eagerly await the moment they?ll be scooped up and taken home to a new family, while audiences nestled in the Ho-Hum theater shimmy along with an ever-changing roster of musicians belting out bluegrass, country, and gospel tunes.
Stepping inside The Pizza Machine & Co. always feels a little bit like stepping into a carnival. Staffers hand-toss discs of dough high into the air like jugglers and a pizza-themed chandelier mimics the feeling of a fun house. Though the sights might draw customers in, the shop, like any good carnival, has to keep them coming back. That?s where the restaurant?s chefs come in, creating hand-tossed pizzas and Italian cuisine in both classic forms and zany reinventions. Take their signature 40-inch pizza, for instance, which dons an unlimited combination of toppings to feed several dozen people. Their standard-sized pizzas often mimic the flavors of classic dishes, as with such fan favorites as the bruschetta, the hero, and the taco pizza. They also pair their pies with appetizers and desserts such as cheesy breadsticks, crab-stuffed mushrooms, and s?mores pizzas to create a meal as flavorful as a Willy Wonka employee?s severance package.
Professional anger and guide Mike Davis picked up his first fishing pole in his hometown of Orlando, Florida, where the swampy surroundings provided ample opportunities for reeling in scaly specimens.

War on opium gives Golden Triangle a different hue
By Ed Cropley
PHONGSALI, Laos (Reuters) – The mountains of northern Laos
have changed color.
In the past five years, the opium poppy fields that for the
last two centuries lent splashes of color to the pervading
green of the jungle have become a thing of the past.
In their stead, small plantations of tea, peach trees and
even asparagus are springing up in the heart of the "Golden
Triangle," the lawless opium-producing region at the junction
of Laos, Thailand and Myanmar.
"In 2001 at this time of year, those hills would have been
a sea of pink and white," said Clifford Heinzer, a U.S.
anti-drugs official, with a sweep of his hand across a lush —
and entirely green — valley in the northernmost Lao province
of Phongsali.
"I'm not going to kid you that if you walk into the jungle,
you won't find a single poppy," said Heinzer, who works in the
U.S. Embassy in the capital, Vientiane. "But it would only be
one of a few plants grown by an addict for personal
consumption. Commercial cultivation is over."
In concert with donors and the United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Laos has gone from being the world's
third-biggest producer of heroin, which comes from opium resin,
in 1998 to declaring itself free of poppy cultivation in
February 2006.
The announcement leaves military-ruled Myanmar as the only
member of the Golden Triangle trio with a heroin habit.
Although the landlocked southeast Asian nation has never
rivaled the likes of Afghanistan, which had an estimated
324,000 acres under cultivation in 2004, or neighboring
Myanmar, opium has nevertheless been a part of life for
As it spread from China in the early 19th century, Laos'
laid-back population took to the drug with such relish — both
for medicinal and recreational purposes — that French
colonialists dubbed the country the "Land of the Lotus Eaters."
More recently, during the Vietnam War, the CIA's infamous
"Air America" airline teamed up with anti-communist Hmong hill
tribesmen to smuggle opium out of the jungle to help fund
America's "secret war" in Laos.
However in 1999 its communist rulers declared war on a drug
that was exacting a heavy toll on many of the country's 5.7
million people, with thousands of families enslaved to the drug
habits of opium-addled husbands and fathers.
"Many women and children are happy that they no longer need
to endure daily hardships to earn money to buy opium for the
head of the family," the government's top drug-buster, Soubanh
Srithirath, told a recent drug eradication conference.
"Many ethnic children now have the opportunity to attend
school, many families that used to grow opium poppy and had
become addicted are living healthy lives," he said.
With a multi-pronged approach ranging from slashing poppy
fields to hunting down known traffickers, the government has
managed to cut opium cultivation from 67,000 acres eight years
ago to effectively nil today.
Over the same period, education campaigns among the remote
hill tribes where opium had its deepest roots, as well as
treatment programs claiming only 20 percent relapse rates, have
seen the number of addicts drop from 63,000 to just 12,000.
To make the change lasting, the government, UNODC and
donors such as the United States, have followed up with "crop
substitution projects" to give ex-opium farmers — many of whom
made less than $1 a day — a livelihood in a mountainous region
unsuitable for rice.
"Weaning people off the opium here was not that difficult,
because it only yields about 8 kg (18 pounds) per hectare,"
said Heinzer on a recent helicopter trip into the mountains to
visit villages now growing fruit and vegetables instead of
By comparison, the UNODC estimates that yields in
Afghanistan are over 88 pounds per hectare, making it a far
more lucrative cash crop and making the Lao route to kicking
the habit unworkable in the harsher climate and terrain of
central Asia.
Despite the success, some aid groups have privately accused
Vientiane of using opium as an excuse to force ethnic
minorities, many of whom fought the communists in the Vietnam
War, to move from the hills and closer to roads — and
government control.
Spokesman Yong Chanhthalansy admitted infrastructure had in
some cases struggled to keep pace with the eradication campaign
but said the government was often playing catch-up with remote
communities desperate to get closer to new communication links.
"Outsiders accuse us of forcing people to relocate but it
is not true. It was a spontaneous relocation and they moved to
get closer to roads. Sometimes the government was having to run
after them," Yong said.
The criticism might also be driven by fiercely
anti-communist Hmong refugees now living in the United States,
he suggested.
"People were telling us to crack down on opium, and we did.
And now we are being told we did it too fast," he said with a
shrug. "We just can't win."

I am new to the world of bulbs and a couple months ago decided to plant some spring blooming Leucojum Aestivum along with crocus and bluebells. The bulbs are in the same planter and all were planted at the depth and separation suggested to me by the nursery staff. I live in a generally wet area by the sea that gets a great amount of rain during the winters. However, we've had skittish weather lately that have caused most of my bulbs to sprout. I read a few other posts that said this isn't necessarily something to worry about and since I live in northern California where the winters are comparatively mild to the rest of the US, I'm guessing that the sprouting is the least of my worries.
I have never planted bulbs before, ever. So when I noticed that most were sprouting but one area was bare, I pulled aside the soil to check. That bulb was one of my Leucojum Aestivum, but it was reduced to orange goo. I assumed this was not good because I saw no signs of a usable bulb in it. All was mush. My other snowflakes were fine, but that one bulb was just awful. What does that mean and how should I handle it? If the bulb is rotten, could I plant another bulb in it's place ? (I know it's late but it was just 76 degrees here yesterday so it could still work...) And lastly, we may not get snow, but we certainly get frost in my area. Should I be worried for my already sprouted bulbs? Thank you for any advice you may have! |
Follow-Up Postings:
If you only had one bulb rot, I wouldn't worry about it. They are in the ground here and have survived for more than ten years. You have yours in a container where you have control over the drainage. I don't know what you used for your potting mix, but if you intend this for a number of years I would suggest you visit the container forum for suggested long lasting mix recipes. Al |
I tend to think of L aestivum more as an honorary perennial than a typical bulb because it can stay in situ for years and form big tough permanent clumps which can be split up like perennials. They will not flower at the same time as your crocuses. Here they flower about a month after the crocuses. |
- Posted by gardenerme z9/21 inland socal (My Page) on Sat, Nov 20, 10 at 13:20
I thought you were planting in the ground. If so, if you have areas where the drainage is of concern, such as the one with the rotten bulb, I just dig holes 3" deeper and line with 3 inches of rough gravel so that they drain really well. That has worked for me for all my bulbs for years. |
Your snowflakes may flower this coming spring. However, they can take a while to settle in. As flora says, they are great for naturalising. If I were to compose a planter and wanted crocuses I think I'd include something like Chionodoxa, and maybe miniature Narcissus, or one of the tougher fritillaries such as assyriaca because - both the snowflakes and the bluebells produce lots of juicy leaves which, when they are finishing, tend to smother whatever is under them. And they multiply faster than rabbits. Much. So other bulbs can be monstered. One way around it is to plant up in separate pots and use the big container as a cache pot. When the little bulbs have done their run you can take out their pot and replace them with something else. Bluebells do well in dappled light. Snowflakes are fine out in the open - even in pasture. Many crocuses prefer an open environment - good sun and fresh air, and good drainage, with very little in the way of competition from other plants' leaves. Something else you might like, but could be too late for this year, are the small Irises - reticulata, etc, and Anemone blanda which gives a good show over a longish time. |

Two Simple Thoughts That Will Change the Way You Date
By Bobbi Palmer
So…take off those rose-colored glasses. This is the lens you look through when you're always hoping he's The One. And if, by chance, a second date comes up, the lenses can go a deep hot Pink. That's what starts us searching for signs of hope and connection with every word and action.
We can find the silliest things to validate our belief that he's special…and this could be IT. I'll confess: on my first real date with Larry, when I saw his CD collection in his car, I thought, "Oh geez…he could be the one! We can talk so openly, and he loves all the same music I do…and we read the same authors! What a great sign!"
And then…fast-forward an hour…and he did something that really bugged me. (Out of respect to him, I'll keep this detail to myself.) And in an instant I thought, "Deal breaker. That's it; another one bites the dust."
All of the sudden I was looking through a different color lens: maybe black. I set out on the path to uncovering his fatal flaw.
I went from planning our wedding to "Here we go again – another disappointment" within 60 minutes. It was getting distracting and exhausting. So I recalled the lessons I had been learning and I took off the glasses. I let all that judgment go. I just told myself to enjoy being with him "tonight" and see where it goes.
Thankfully, I was able to turn off the voices in my head and not jam him into a "he's the one or not the one" slot. I was able to give us both the breathing room to really learn about each other. It didn't take long for us to fall in love. (Apparently it took him about two weeks. Men can be so much smarter that us at this stuff.) Larry absolutely was and is the man of my dreams. I am so grateful that I was able to remove my glasses and see him for the man he is.
I know it's so hard to keep our expectations, hopes and dreams in check. But please go into your early dates with the attitude of just getting to know him and how he might enhance your life. Take the pressure off of both you and just be open without the burden of having to come out of it with a thumbs up or down. Take off those glasses, put your expectations on hold, and you might actually DISCOVER who your date is before you DECIDE who he is. How refreshing (and relaxing) is that!

Recent Dollar Dip Marks a Buying Opportunity
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The U.S. dollar has met selling pressure in recent sessions, driven mostly by central bank policy statements that jarred market expectations and partially reversed some of the dominant trends seen so far this summer.
Dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested that there is no immediate need to start scaling back on quantitative easing programs, and that monetary stimulus could continue even if we see stable recoveries in U.S. economic data. In addition to this, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) completed its July meeting with no additions to its own stimulus programs and offered a generally upbeat outlook for Japan's economy.
These events are not entirely in agreement with the over-riding expectations seen in the market, as the Fed is widely expected to be the first central bank to begin phasing-out its stimulus programs. So, the next question for investors is whether or not these statements and policy decisions are enough to reverse the bullish trend in the U.S. dollar that has been in place over the last five weeks. But most of the evidence suggests this is unlikely, and that, if anything, recent weakness is more the result of profit-taking in long-dollar positions, rather than a genuine expectation that market conditions have changed.
For these reasons, short-term dips in the U.S. dollar should be viewed as buying opportunities.
Steady improvements in labor markets and confident economic assessments from policymakers should bring buyers back into the U.S. dollar, which will continue to look more attractive relative to its most commonly traded counterparts (such as the euro, yen, and Australian dollar). Indications that the Federal Reserve will, in fact, begin cutting back on its monthly purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities have been voiced by Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser, who reiterated the need to start reducing stimulus in September. The proximity of Plosser's comments to Bernanke's tells us that there are at least dissenting voices in favor of adopting a more hawkish policy stance. This is something that is missing from the Fed's global counterparts, as policymakers in the eurozone, England and Japan have yet to rule out further easing measures. From a growth standpoint, U.S. GDP forecasts are seen in the neighborhood of 2.7%, and while this might seem sluggish, it is still well above what is expected in other regions of the globe. The combination of these factors will continue to support the U.S. currency into the end of the year, as alternative options for currency investors remain limited. From an interest rate perspective, it could be argued that the Australian dollar still has advantages for long-term investors. But key risks are seen here as well, with the fate of the Australian currency heavily dependent on the health of the economy in China (the country's largest trading partner). This week, we will have critical GDP figures out of China, with consensus estimates suggesting an annual growth rate of 7.5%. But recent comments from Chinese finance officials have indicated a willingness to accept slower rates of long-term growth, and there is clear potential for this next week's figures to come in lower than markets anticipate. Weaker growth in China will weigh on the prospects for Australia's raw materials exports, and this could lead to additional downside extensions in the country's currency. Taken as a whole, these factors paint a positive picture for the U.S. currency, even with its recent moves to the downside, and unimpressive projections in yearly growth rates. As the rest of the world struggles to catch up, expect the U.S. dollar to be one of the currency markets biggest winners in the third quarter.
